She lay before me in her little shroud,
Her pale hands soaly folded on her breast,
As if o'erwearied, she had sank to rest.
To dream of heaven s and of the radiant crowd
That tread its golden pavements. Not a trace
Of dying anguish lingered on her face:
But on her lips a sweetly serious. smile
Still seemed to play—a token front The Lord
Of bliss won her sinless spirii poured.
Then came a thought of Him who blessed, erewhilc,
Young children—" Suffer them to come to me ""
Still thrilled that heavenly voice upon my car,
And my heart answered, as I dropped a tear.
Thy will be done !—we leave our child with 'Thee
When over her sweet face the coffin lid
Was closed for ever, and with tents we gave
Our loveliest to the keeping of the grave,
(And who that knew her would our tears forbid?)
" Tic a sad world," said one, '• a world of woe,
Where sorrow reigns supreme." Yet frommy heart
The all-sustaining hope did not depart;
But to its impulse true, I answered- 0 1%7'o!
The world has much of good—nor seldom Joy
Over our spirits broods with radiant wing!
Gladness from grief, and life front death, may spring;
Treasures are ours the grave cannot destroy,
Then chide not harshly our instructress stern,
Whose solemn lessons Wisdom bids us learn!"

Of all the titles woman fair—
Pear woman—here can ever bear—
Though all ere holy words to me,
Associate in my heart to be,
With holy thoughts and things—
Yet one among them ever brings
Such gushing feelings on its wings—
Such memories of Love and Care—
Of Trust and Faith In days that were,
Of Hope and Joy for time to come—
Of Truth—of Chastity—and florae—

Roc—Why, 'tis a hoistrous and Cruel style,
A style for Oath:tigers: why she defies me
As You Like 11."
I have seen many coquettes by nature and many
more who strove to obtain that killing title, but
never one who failed so completely as my lovely
little pet in her childhood, Bose Montrose. At
eighteen she was mistress of rare beauty, a spark
ling flow of spirits, and a most provoking, bewitch
ing disposition, in short, every qualification to
succeed in her ambition, except simple heartless.
ness. Her mother was never more than a mere

death, she strictly enjoined upon the guardian, a
kind-hearted, but inexperienced oddity of an old
bachelor, to keep her daughter at a certain finish.
ing establishment until she became properly quali.
fled to enter the world as the fashionable daughter
of a fashionable mother. One can hardly wonder,
that her mind trained under these influences, took
an artificial bias. And indeed, what young beauty,
spoiled by education, lortune, and the close friend
ship of romantic school-girls, would have a differ
ent ambition on her first. peep at the world from
that of supremacy over the lords of creation /
And so Rose Montrose flirted, and laughed, and
played the unmerciful despot. But I who knew
her well, was perfectly aware that all this was for
eign to liar character: I believed, in fact, that her
arbitrary commands arose from a nervous timidity,
striving to conceal itself in the role she would act,
just as cowards sometimes in endeavoring to asaumo
coolness, rush desperately into the wildest dangers.
In n 8 other way could I account for her caprice of
a moment and reeling for the next hour. Her lov
ers were as perplexed as they were disheartened.
Her playful pettishness would occasionally subside,
and then break forth in a torrent of sparkling wit
at the first semblance of sentiment or feeling.
'rite truth was, that she knew the sacred fulness of
heart's emotion, and shrank from exposing it to
one, who might see but could not understand. As
was said to me, by a young friend, of whom here.
alter, whose occasional puns betrayed his sole un
gentlemanly propensity, her artlessness was so
plain that none but an ignorant cockney could call
it heartlessness. and he confessed with a blush that
he WAS Once such an one.
Their walk had been extended to the full accond
mile, before either of the pair awaked from that
absorbing conversation. Hose Marmotse was lean

ing hers for the lad half hour in vain. He had
been pouring into her ear glowing descriptions of
the olden days of chivalry, and an depicting the
thoughts of others had artfully, yet without pre.
meditation drawn forth his own. It was the skill
which love bestows upon even the Artless. She had
listened In silence though all tumultuous within,
until their path ceased before the verge of a cliff
and she awaked from herself to the artificial again.
It was to stop the nervous beating of her heart.
and interrupt the burning words she yet longed to
hear, that she stepped forward to the very edge and
rattled on hurriedly,
"Mr. Sumner, all this is very fine,—the scenery

those knights were as chivalrous as they were fool.

thing ass lady's smile. Look half way down this
frightful cliff, and you will see a few wild Bowers
growing almost out of the very rocks. Now, if 11
cavalier were here, like those you have described,
how gladly would he risk his neck and seize those
flowers to wreathe in some lady'ahair 1 lam glad
that the gallants of our prudent days have more
sense."
She spoke nervously, and as be cast his eyes
down the precipice, bent upon him an imploring
look. as if beseeching bhp not to hear words that
she would give worlds to unsay. But it was too
late.
" Were each an one here, he would rejoice in the
opportunity to earn a boon that she could not re•
fuse. He would place the wreath in her hand, and
ahe Would place her hand in his."
Hit words were impetuous. half-enquiring, and
the warm blood mounted to her cheeks. She felt
her self possession •anishing,yet spoke eagerly the
fret' words of 'her heart.
"And she would keep the flowers forever." Then
she shuddered and calmly added, " Come let us
/cave this silly romance and return."
They walked back in silence.
Late in the evening Sumner left the house of Mr.
News after en unsatisfactory visit. He saw that
much of her coquetry was effected, but there was
still enough to cause him serious uneasiness. Sev
eral times had he endeavored to draw from her en
answer to his ardent and undisguised avowels of
lova.-yet hitherto she had avoided tile subject with
the full tact of woman, as he bitterly called her
girlish, blushing timidity. But she had now al.
most. challenged him to the proof of his devotion,
and he vowed to appear before her on the morrow
with a claim torso audience, which she could not
avoid. There was a. scorn too, as he fancied in her
tone when she praised the carotid wisdom of mod.
ern lovers. He determined to obtain the flowers
that very night when none were abroad to witness
and ridicule his attempt.
This chivalmus plan required some rather unro.
mantic means in the shape of an iron bar and a
coil of rope. These he procured from his sleepy
landlord, and-after a few minutes brisk walking,
prepared to descend Vienne with their help. The
bar was firmly driven into the earth, and the rope
with knots every few feet fastened to it securely.
With a strong grasp he then 'commenced his de
scent.
About halfway down he stopped to rest for a
moment upon a crag that pushed itself boldly .out
from the almost perpendicular side of the precipice.
Descending still farther, he found that the rope
resting upon the edge of this rock just. above, sus.
pended him at some dozen feet out from the main
wall ; but when he had swung just opposite to the
flowers, a few violent springs enabled him to gain
a firm foothold. The prize was now in his grasp,
but in the eagerness of success, he loosed his hold
of the rope, and it swung far out of his reach.
However, there was nothing peculiarly dangerous
in his position. Like the famous samphire.gather.
er, in a similar predicament, he knew that a bold
leap for the rope might save bins, and at the worst
the deep flood was rolling only fifteen or twenty
feet below. Carefully securing the flowers in his
bosom, he watched the oscilition of the rope, and a t
the critical moment sprang nimbly out into the air.
His agile limbs practised in boyhood among his
native Highland mountains and tali sea-clifffs did
not fail him now. Bat hie full weight, cast sod
denly upon the rope, tore it et once from the bar, and
he dropped into the cold sea. The first natural im
pulse was to swim for the nearest pointof land, and
the second to burst in a hearty, though somewhat
silly laugh at this uncomfortable termination of his
romance.
Once on shore he hurried to his quarters in the
village inn. Like a true lover, he first dried the
flowers, and arranged them into a graceful wreath,
and then, more like a man of sense, exchanged his
dripping clothes for a warm bed. But his sense
came too far behind folly, and on the morning
after his chilly immersion, he awoke in a high
fever.
Rose Montrose was sitting alone with blushing
cheeks, and a soft smile beaming from her half.
closed eyes. There was nothing around her to cause
this silent expression of pleasure; the maiden wee
only receiving delight from the thickening emo•
Lions that rose up from her heart, tremulous in first
love. A sweet, uncertain tumult of thoughts sur
rounded with enchantment the single idea that love
really reigned within, and swayed the fairy scepter
over her, who had hitherto prided herself on her
queenly command upon other's hearts. At that
moment she did not think of his feelings for doubt
on that subject had never arisen, but she trembled
at the thought of her own deep passion. And then
the delicious color, that consciousness had called
forth, fled from her cheeks, and she clasped her
hands suddenly at the idea of her mocking chalk.
lenge the previous day. She feared that Sumner
had nut seen through her coquettish hypocrisy of
the moment—that, which she then feared he might
perceive; that, which was ; assumed to hide her
heart. Suddenly his step was heard, and—oh! the
mysterious working of Woman's heart—ashamed to
be detected while her face was yet transparent of
feeling, timid and fluttering, she raised her eyes
desperately with a confused consciousness that she
was about to finish het role of the coquette. In her
blindness she fancied that otherwise her heart
would be unavoidedly revealed, and she shrank
from en exposure of its depths—meet of all to him.
She was not yet sufficiently accomplished in her
game, and always bungled sadly. Never more
than now.
Sumner entered the room with irregular step and
flushed face, wherein fever plainly burned, but the
Mooed it to be no more than a lover's natural tre
pidation. Had site not loved, it would have made
heemore cool, collected and unepairing in her co
quetry, but as it was she trembled with him and
fully shared to his supposed agitation. And she
hardly knew whether site was right or wrong, as
he hurriedly placed a wreath of wild flowers in her
hand, saying abruptly and in husky tunes,
"There—your hand."
" Ah, yes these are the pretty fieltiflowers I ad
mired so much yesterday. You arc very kind in
being so thoughtful, and really deserve some re.
ward." Her words crowded on each other with
desperate rapidity. "but my band is too useful a
member to be parted with lightly. Will not this
g love answer your purpose ? Why, you seem
afraid of it It is only a glove that lam giving
you."
All this was very silly and very cruel, and so Rose
well knew. but for her life site could not say other
wise. He received the glove site carelessly tossed
into his hands: the color fled from his cheeks and
lips ; his tall form shivered as he bowed coldly. and
staggered rather than walked from the room.
Gone: it was reality then. Rose sprang to the
window, and as she remarked his faltering step, and
rernembeted Alm wild, feverish expression of his
face, know the truth and wept. The wreath was

Two weeks after this, Mr. Never' paused in his
perusal of' the paper and read aloud:

CHAPTER IL
" Love comes, the 'xautiful, the ties,
The ccov.n of all laumtutity
In !Hence and alone
To seek the elected onc:'
One year from this time found Leonard Sumner
still in bis Italian studio, and happy only when the
glowing subject of his art reminded, him of a re,
slily more perfect and beautiful than eren the deli
caw!), created shadows traced by'hii pencil. Frani
the first he felt no resentment at the seeming
heartlessness that drove him from his native land.
His noble heart only swelled with astonishment
that'such unworthiness could, and sorrow that it
did exist in a form to captivating, and ' a mind
which he knew to be so richly endowed.. A small.
er soul would have been considered puffing- itself
with offended pride: he thought of it only with
sadness that a kindred spirit was imperfect. Still
there was a wound, and without any angry hangh
fitters of feeling, he experienced a saddened morti
fication, that he had been rejected, and in such a
manner. Perhaps he thought less of it than at
fast, but this was natural and in 'healing, Time had
also softened. His whole energies were turned to
the cultivation of his favorite art, and already his
studio was visited by the munificent patrons of ge
nius.
One day Mr. Nevers unexpectedly entered the
room. The yotmg artist greeted his, old friend
with warmth, before be thought of the awkward
ness 'of their meeting, bat his inquiries for the
health of Miss Montrose, were as cool and busi.
ness-like as any fashionable gentleman could have
desired. Mr. Nevers was more embarrassed. The
good old bachelor fidgeted upon bit chair during
the preliminary remarks that followed as usual,
and then with awkward directions explained the
particular object of hie visit. lit seemed that he
had picked up it.protege in the person of a Spanish
boy, whom he found in the streets of Cedii. The
youth appeared to' be educated, was friendless,
houseless, and at the time Mr-Nevers saw him,
was gazing away an afternoon at a beautiful paint.

idently intended him for an artist, and Mr. Nevers'
present object was to übtain for him a place in
some studio as pupil, where he might fulfil all the
expectations which his fine promise had excited.
Mr. Nevere told the story quite well, although ho
was walking on strange ground, and acting a part,
the very thought of which, but two months before,
would have made him roll up his eyes in comical
amazement.
1 The idea of a constant companion was not pecu
liarly pleasing to Sumner, who lived. only when
alone with his memory, but the wishes of her guar
dian seemed almost to coma from Rose herself, and
I lie could not decline compliance. Ms. - Never, with
drew with an odd expression, half of pleasure, half
of whimsical anxiety upon his honest countenance,
and left the artist to follow out the train of delici
ous imaginings, which their sudden meeting had
called forth. Foolish certainly and profitless, but
he almost fancied himself again with Ruse and the
past year blotted out forever.
Early its the next day came his visitors. The
young Spaniard, delicately formed, and with bright
eyes throwing an air of intelligence over his clear
olive and rather Moorish face, finely relieved by
long•' jet tresses descending upon his shoulders,
might perhaps in other circles have become that pet
of all somewhat young ladies, a handsome boy.
He seemed about seventeen, certainly no less by the
long delicate moustache that drooped daintily from
the corners of a finely.cut mouth. Though clear
and high toned, his voice seemed somewhat strained
into a manly prolongation of sound, At first sight
Sumner involuntarily raised his hand as if to clear
away something from before his eyes, but on sec
ond thought, and a deliberate survey of the other's
person, merely formed the opinion that his future
pupil might not prove the source of annoyance that
he had anticipated. A short conversation confirm
ed him in this belief, and after the departure of Mr.
' , levers, he proceeded to the first instructions with
a hearty pleasure that astonished himself, and in.

va,nces were received with a species of cool grati

the cureless young Spaniard. But his hand was
quick and skilful, so that after abar.doning this,

pencil had attracted so'much attention throughout
Rome. Hie desire was to obtain a painting of a
free, glowing, and artless Swiss shepherdess, a
" mountain nymph—sweet Liberty." He withdrew

and impatient to be alone. Day after day he
wrought with passionate skill upon the canvass,

A little water removed the dark Moorish hue
from that arch and tempting lace; a sly twitch, and
the drooping moustache fell from the corners of her
mouth, now drawn up into a merry laugh, and in
full beauty Rose Montrose stood before her leas
lovely image. Those slender fingers seized the
brush and skillfully traced a fairy wreath uf wild
flowers, such as the artist drew, all faded and dead,
from her humus. One hand of the portrait clasped
tightly a single glove, and the other seems passion
ately buried in the flowers. And then, with a

Rose withdraw.

The next morning, Leonard Sumner entered his
studio with the determination to solve the mystery
which his young pupil had thrown around him. A
single step within, a single glance at the portrait,
and the whole truth rushed upon his mind with
clearness, even bewildering in its simplicity. Ile
hastened to Mr. Nevers' house without delay,
She was sitting alone, and as one might who
knew that her lover was near. Ile walked straight
forward, and seating himself by her side, said softly,

•' Oh forgive the past," she exclaimed, looking
up with tearful energy, "and forget my folly, my
madness. Believe me, that I knew not what I
said, that I feared to say what I felt; that I was.

Remember that no true light had ever shone upon
